Adaptive cruise control problems by model year
What owners say
When the cruise control is engaged in my 1995 6-cylinder camry, it can suddenly and forcefully apply the accelerator, jerking the vehicle forward and backward before disengaging and not reengaging until the ignition is turned off. It was very frightening so I took it to the dealer who read the error code and assured me it was not dangerous and refused to repair it under warranty. I spoke to the toyota representative and he too refused to authorize warranty work. I have not used the cruise control since and have asked toyota to reconsider a warranty repair based on recent disclosures of concealment of unintended acceleration.
Vehicle cruise control suddenly accelerates without driver input and continues to accelerate/decelerate until cruise control is disengaged. When reactivated, it works fine until the next episode.
Consumer said, when he set the cruise control at 55 MPH and traveling on level ground or uphill it holds this speed perfectly. But if he start down hill the system does not sense promptly that the car is accelerating. It always takes between 20 and 30 seconds before it senses the increased speed and releases the throttle. By then the car is traveling 8 to 14 MPH faster.
Cruise control suddenly "spikes" (unintended accelleration) without warning.
